cent ($.01) per share (the "Preferred Stock"); and
2. six million (6,000,000) shares of common stock, par value one
cent ($.01) per share (the "Common Stock").
B. Except as provided in this Article Fourth (or in any Preferred

having preference over the Common Stock as to the payment of dividends, the
full amount of dividends and of sinking fund or retirement fund or other
retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are respectively

the Common Stock and on any class or series of stock entitled to
participate therewith as to dividends, out of any assets legally available
for the payment of dividends; but only when and as declared by the Board of
Directors.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock (and the holders of any class
or series of stock entitled to participate with the Common Stock in the
distribution of assets) shall be entitled to
receive, in cash or in kind, the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution remaining after: (i) payment or provision for payment of the
Corporation's debts and liabilities and (ii) distributions or provision for
distributions to holders of any class or series of stock having preference
over the Common Stock in the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
Corporation. Each share of Common Stock shall have the same relative
rights as and be identical in all respects with all the other shares of
Common Stock.
C. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, subject to any
limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of
Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the
applicable law of the State of Delaware (such certificate being hereinafter
referred to as a "Preferred Stock Designation"), to establish from time to
time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix
the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such
series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.
D. No shares of capital stock (including shares issuable upon conversion,
exchange or exercise of other securities) shall be issued directly or
indirectly, to officers, directors, or controlling persons of the
Corporation other than as part of a general public offering or as
qualifying shares to a director unless the issuance or the plan under which
they would be issued has been approved by a majority of the total votes
eligible to be cast at a legal meeting.
E. Nothing contained in this Article Fourth (or in any Preferred Stock
Designation) shall entitle the holders of any class of a series of capital
stock to vote as a separate class or series or to more than one vote per
share, except as to the cumulation of votes for the election of directors;
provided, that this restriction on voting separately by class or series
shall not apply:
(i) to any provision which would authorize the holders of
Preferred Stock, voting as a class or series, to elect some
members of the Board of Directors, less than a majority
thereof, in the event of default in the payment of dividends
on any class or series of Preferred Stock;
(ii) to any provision which would require the holders of Preferred
Stock, voting as a class or series, to approve the merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation or
the sale, lease or conveyance (other than by mortgage or
pledge) of properties or business in exchange for securities
of a corporation other than the Corporation if the Preferred
Stock is exchanged for securities of such other corporation;
(iii) to any amendment which would adversely change the specific
terms of any class or series of capital stock as set forth in
this Article Fourth (or in any Preferred Stock Designation),
including any amendment which would create or enlarge any
class or series ranking prior thereto in rights and
2
preferences. An amendment which increases the number of
authorized shares of any class or series of capital stock, or
substitutes the surviving Corporation in a merger or
consolidation for the Corporation, shall not be considered to
be such an adverse change.

cast for the election of directors with respect to his shares of stock
multiplied by the number of directors to be elected by him, and that he may
cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among
the number to be voted for, or for any two or more of them as he may see
fit.

its discretion from time to time may determine, and the Board of Directors
may issue stock of the Corporation, or obligations convertible into stock,
without offering such issue of stock, either in whole or in part, to the
stockholders of the Corporation. The acceptance of stock in the
Corporation shall be a waiver of any such preemptive or

provided in this Section:
1. any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or
any Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) with (i) any
Interested Stockholder (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any
other corporation (whether or not itself an Interested
Stockholder) which is, or after such merger or consolidation
would be, an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of an
Interested Stockholder; or
2. any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge,
transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series
of transactions) to or with any Interested Stockholder, or any

the proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any class
of equity or convertible securities of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary which is directly or indirectly owned by any
Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested
Stockholder (a "Disproportionate Transaction"); provided,
however, that no such transaction shall be deemed a
Disproportionate Transaction if the increase in the
proportionate ownership of the Interested Stockholder or
Affiliate as a result of such transaction is no greater than
the increase experienced by the other stockholders generally;
2
shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the
voting power of the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote in the election of directors (the "Voting Stock,"), voting
together as a single class. Such affirmative vote shall be required
notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that a lesser
percentage may be specified, by law or by any other provisions of this
Certificate of Incorporation or any Preferred Stock Designation or in any
agreement with any national securities exchange or quotation system or
otherwise.
The term "Business Combination" as used in this Article Fourteenth shall
mean any transaction which is referred to in any one or more of paragraphs
1 through 5 of Section A of this Article Fourteenth.
B. The provisions of Section A of this Article Fourteenth shall
not be applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business
Combination shall require only the affirmative vote of the majority of the
outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote, or such vote as is
required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, if, in the case of
any Business Combination that does not involve any cash or other
consideration being received by the stockholders of the Corporation solely
in their capacity as stockholders of the Corporation, the condition
specified in the following paragraph 1 is met or, in the case of any other
Business Combination, all of the conditions specified in either of the
following paragraphs 1 and 2 are met:
1. The Business Combination shall have been approved by a
majority of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined).
2. All of the following conditions shall have been met:
(a) The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair
Market Value as of the date of the consummation of the
Business Combination of consideration other than cash to be
received per share by the holders of Common Stock in such
Business Combination shall at least be equal to the higher of
the following:
I. (if applicable) the Highest Per Share Price,
including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and
soliciting dealers' fees,
3
paid by the Interested Stockholder or any of its
Affiliates for any shares of Common Stock acquired
by it (X) within the two-year period immediately
prior to the first public announcement of the
proposal of the Business Combination (the
"Announcement Date"), or (Y) in the transaction
in which it became an Interested Stockholder,
whichever is higher.
II. the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the Announcement Date or on the date on
which the Interested Stockholder became an
Interested Stockholder (such latter date is
referred to in this Article Fourteenth as the
"Determination Date"), whichever is higher.
(b) The aggregate amount of the cash and the
Market Value as of the date of the consummation of the
Business Combination of consideration other than cash
to be received per share by holders of shares of any
class of outstanding Voting Stock other than Common
Stock shall be at least equal to the highest of the
following (it being intended that the requirement of
this subparagraph (b) shall be required to be met with
respect to every such class of outstanding Voting
Stock, whether or not the Interested Stockholder has
previously acquired any shares of a particular class of
Voting Stock):
I. (if applicable) the Highest Per Share Price
(as hereinafter defined) including any brokerage
commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting
dealers' fees, paid by the Interested Stockholder
for any shares of such class of Voting Stock
acquired by it (X) within the two-year period
immediately prior to the Announcement Date, or (Y)
in the transaction in which it became an
Interested Stockholder, whichever is higher;
II. (if applicable) the highest preferential
amount per share to which holders of shares
4
of such class of Voting Stock are entitled in the
event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;
III. the Fair Market Value per share of such class
of voting stock on the Announcement Date or on the
Determination Date, whichever is higher.
(c) The consideration to be received by holders
of a particular class of outstanding Voting Stock
(including Common Stock) shall be in cash or in the
same form as the Interested Stockholder has previously
paid for shares of such class of Voting Stock. If the
Interested Stockholder has paid for shares of any class
of Voting Stock with varying forms of consideration,
the form of consideration to be received per share by
holders of shares of such class of Voting Stock shall
be either cash or the form used to acquire the largest
number of shares of such class of Voting Stock
previously acquired by the Interested Stockholder. The
price determined in accordance with subparagraph B.2 of
this Article Fourteenth shall be subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, combination of shares or similar event.
(d) After such Interested Stockholder has become
an Interested Stockholder and prior to the consummation
of such Business Combination; (i) except as approved by
a majority of the Disinterested Directors, there shall
have been no failure to declare and pay at the regular
date therefor any full quarterly dividends (whether or
not cumulative) on any outstanding stock having
preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or
liquidation; (ii) there shall have been (X) no
reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on the
Common Stock (except as necessary to reflect any
subdivision of the Common Stock), except as approved by
a majority of the Disinterested Directors, and (Y) an
increase in such annual rate of dividends as necessary
to reflect any reclassification (including any reverse
stock split), recapitalization,
5
reorganization or any similar transaction which has the
effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, unless the failure to so increase such
annual rate is approved by a majority of the
Disinterested Directors; and (iii) neither such
Interested Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates shall
have become the beneficial owner of any additional
shares of Voting Stock except as part of the
transaction which results in such Interested
Stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder.
(e) After such Interested Stockholder has become
an Interested Stockholder, such Interested Stockholder
shall not have received the benefit, directly or
indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder),
of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other
financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax
advantages provided by the Corporation, whether in
anticipation of or in connection with such Business
Combination or otherwise.
(f) A proxy or information statement describing
the proposed Business Combination and complying with
the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any
subsequent provisions replacing such Act, rules or
regulations) shall be mailed to stockholders of the
Corporation at least 30 days prior to the consummation
of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy
or information statement is required to be mailed
pursuant to such Act or subsequent provisions).

(c) is an assignee of or has otherwise succeeded
to any shares of Voting Stock which were at any time
within the two-year period immediately prior to the
date in question beneficially owned by any Interested
Stockholder, if such assignment or succession shall

the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.

Voting Stock:

passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement
or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion
rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or
otherwise, or (ii) the right to vote pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding (but neither
such Person nor any such Affiliate or Associate shall
be deemed to be the
7
beneficial owner of any shares of Voting Stock solely
by reason of a revocable proxy granted for a particular
meeting of stockholders, pursuant to a public
solicitation of proxies for such meeting, and with
respect to which shares neither such Person nor any

December 31, 1996, by any other Person with which such
Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any

solely by reason of a revocable proxy as described in
Subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 3) or in disposing
of any shares of Voting Stock;
provided, however, that, in the case of any employee stock ownership
or similar plan of the Corporation or of any Subsidiary in which the
beneficiaries thereof possess the right to vote any shares of Voting
Stock held by such plan, no such plan nor any trustee with respect
thereto (nor any Affiliate of such trustee), solely by reason of such
capacity of such trustee, shall be deemed, for any purposes hereof, to
beneficially own any shares of Voting Stock held under any such plan.
4. For the purpose of determining whether a Person is
an Interested Stockholder pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Section C,
the number of shares of Voting Stock deemed to be outstanding shall
include shares deemed owned through application of Paragraph 3 of this
Section C but shall not include any other shares of Voting Stock which

majority of any class of equity security is owned, directly or
8
indirectly, by the Corporation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for the

corporation of which a majority of each class of equity security is
owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation.

Board of Directors who is unaffiliated with the Interested Stockholder
and was a member of the Board of Directors prior to the time that the
Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, and any
director who is thereafter chosen to fill any vacancy on the Board of
Directors or who is elected and who, in either event, is unaffiliated

initial assumption of office is recommended for appointment or
election by a majority of Disinterested Directors then on the Board of
Directors.
8. "Fair Market Value" means: (a) in the case of
stock, the highest closing sales price of the stock during the 30-day
period immediately preceding the date in question of a share of such
stock of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations ("NASDAQ") System or any system then in use, or, if such
stock is admitted to trading on a principal United States securities
exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Fair
Market Value shall be the highest sale price reported during the 30-
day period preceding the date in question, or, if no such quotations
are available, the Fair Market Value on the date in question of a
share of such stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good
faith, in each case with respect to any class of stock, appropriately
adjusted for any dividend or distribution in shares of such stock or
in combination or reclassification of outstanding shares of such stock
into a smaller number of shares of such stock, and (b) in the case of
property other than cash or stock, the Fair Market Value of such
property on the date in question as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith.

case with respect to any class of stock reflect an appropriate
adjustment for any dividend or distribution in shares of such stock or
any stock split or reclassification of outstanding shares of such
stock into a greater number of shares of such stock or any combination
or reclassification of outstanding shares of such stock into a smaller
number of shares of such stock.
9
10. In the event of any Business Combination in which the
Corporation survives, the phrase "consideration other than cash to be
received" as used in Subparagraphs (a) and (b) of Paragraph 2 of
Section B of this Article Fourteenth shall include the shares of
Common Stock and/or the shares of any other class of outstanding
Voting Stock retained by the holders of such shares.

to them after reasonable inquiry, (a) whether a person is an
Interested Stockholder; (b) the number of shares of Voting Stock
beneficially owned by any person; (c) whether a person is an Affiliate
or Associate of another; and (d) whether the assets which are the
subject of any Business Combination have, or the consideration to be
received for the issuance or transfer of securities by the Corporation
or any Subsidiary in any Business Combination has, an aggregate Fair
Market Value equaling or exceeding 25% of the combined assets of the
Corporation and its Subsidiaries. A majority of the Disinterested
Directors shall have the further power to interpret all of the terms
and provisions of this Article Fourteenth.
E. Nothing contained in this Article Fourteenth shall be
construed to relieve any Interested Stockholder from any fiduciary
obligation imposed by law.
F. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might
otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any
affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of
the Voting Stock required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or
any Preferred Stock Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding
shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall
be required to alter, amend, change or repeal, or adopt any provisions
inconsistent with, this Article Fourteenth; provided, however, that
the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph F shall not apply to,
and such vote shall not be required for, any such amendment,
alteration, change, repeal or adoption approved by a majority of the
Disinterested Directors, and any such amendment, alteration, change,
repeal or adoption so approved shall require only such vote, if any,
as is required by law, any other provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation."
